Hy-Rib Permanent Formwork System

Hy-Rib® is an expanded metal sheet product, designed for use as permanent formwork to concrete. The profile of the open mesh, in combination with the Hy-Rib® tangs, allows the development of dense concrete nodules and indents on the face of the Hy-Rib®, forming an enhanced mechanical key for the second phase pour and is suitable for a rendered or tiled finish.

Hy-Rib® is available in 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000mm lengths. The edge rib is manufactured to nest tightly with the edge rib of an adjacent Hy-Rib® sheet.

All Hy-Rib® is colour coded to enable easy identification of the steel type and gauge of the sheet. An open mesh allows bleed water to escape providing a dense, impenetrable concrete zone at the surface and immediately behind the Hy-Rib®.
